Bunch of clowns on another site suggest it won't matter whether Opie gets off or not. They suggest he is not that good and Te Akau would be better off with Tina Comignaghi or at least six other jockeys (who they refuse to name). Biggest load of nonsense you'll ever read. There is certainly only one Opie Bosson!

Scoob, I view Q & A sessions like this the same way I regard 'debates' at Election time. Mucho promisings, very little deliverings. Think of all Jacinda's promises from the election Winston installled her as PM at ... and then ponder all the non-deliveries that hvae ensued...

Because they have no where else to go.....

No Huey. Hopefully we will be doing better than that as other unhappy owners are involved, we have another strategy which just needs a majority approval. Once I shift to my new property in a few months I will have a Track,a treadmill ,a walker and a pool. No more pro trainers and no more multiple owners. I will then race my half brothers and sisters to Kufu's dam, plus others bred, myself ----- Until I fall off the perch. I may not have as much success, but I will have a lot of fun.

In the North Island this time last year there was maiden races at Rotoroa 15 Jan New Plymouth 16 jan Te Rapa 19 Jan Otaki 20 Jan Avondale 22 Jan Wingatuii 23 Jan Te Teko 27 Jan Hastings 29 Jan This year in same period we have: Wanganui 14 Jan Te Rapa 21 Jan Matamata 25 Jan Hastings 28 Jan This is half the races. If you are going to half the races then lets at least double the stakes!!!

two questions.... There's $45m in an unsecured revolving credit facility coming up for renegotiation by 31 August this year. With low interest rates the ability to service this debt is not in question. 1.What are the thoughts of the TAB as to how, and when, this debt will be repaid? This year's code distributions have been pegged with the proviso that these distributions will be subject to a quarterly assessment based on the TAB's actual performance. Q1 performance was well ahead of plan and Q2 is also tracking favorably. 2.When, as in an actual date, was the TAB's code distribution for the quarter ending October 2020 formally confirmed to each of the codes?

Uuummmmm, ooookay

Thank you Huey. It's not as if I haven't done it before just I'm a little more rusty now and will have the facilities I never had before.

Dare I say, they probably didn't understand the question.

Thanks JJ Flash. But I have two other questions with NZTR that are met with no replies so I would hardly expect a reply on this.

totally agree shane and maidens are still getting eliminated

The point is , I don't mind paying for it, but I'd like the option of having it all in one place , thats up to the providers to find a way to achieve , having to subscribe to several packages, use several apps etc is downright annoying imo

Re Hastings, two North Island meetings on same day should not happen. The Levin Stakes and Telegraph noms are out shortly (they will be light on numbers).....lets compare these to years gone by., We are saturated with Maidens and 65 rated horses in NZ and not enough races for them. If you are good enough to get out of these grades you generally get sold (except the larger syndicated horses). Horses that can't get out of these grades will find their careers cut short. It is very thin above these grades.

Haven't really looked at the rides in question , however in some places a Group 1 or Grade 1 race day is not included in the ban if you apply to have that day not counted and bump the day forward , although I know Karaka night isn't Group 1 day so that rule wouldn't apply to this .

Yet you're still posting and reading there ... LMAO!

If you compare F/O bets with tote bets,because of the way bookies percentages are calculated, tote odds win overall ,117% versus 130%. Pool sizes only matter in that the bigger they are the more average they become, they are not better by virtue of their size. Take a survey of results on the tote compared to bookies prices on any meeting and it will be clear that a majority of tote divvies are better and therefore doubles should be better as well except for the fact of the concession,so at the end of the day THAT is the choice, a double with the chance of a concession that reduces the payout but increases your chances versus fixed odds " better" price but no concession

There is generally a mile day down south each year and it is certainly a great day. We need more of these around the country, maybe they should be the races that count which qualfies horses for the jewels ( only a suggestion ). Would make iracing exciting to see them in those circumstances.

I would rather have Leith

Aaron Bidlake the first Double in NZ was at the Tapanui meeting on the 17/12/49. The minimum unit was 10/-. The Haughty Boa and King Gundi double paid £3/18/6.

Less race days, less races - look at the fields sizes haven't we done well !!! Wait a minute AWT will definitely fix this problem ... ffs!

No sure about that, some bare the brunt.

Excellent, good luck with that. I'm sure you'll enjoy every moment of it!

Why don't you send a mail to NZTR and ask the same question. They are the ones who do the programming

We've told you, we've waited, we've seen. You're certifiable.

Not posting on this forum as yet but makes some good points elsewhere. She enjoys this site nonetheless so i say welcome and hope you enjoy the posts and posters on here.

Oh yes, trainers have to play their part (presumably what they paid for by the owner) educating horses from young age and not to rely on "I'm to busy to spend time on that" and "Hope it will handle the start"

You contradict (sort of) yourself - you say ban stands EXCEPT for big races. So how do those in big races get stand practice against a field if you ban them The two things you need to improve upon is 1) being tougher on hrses who consistently don'e go away from a stand and 2) the human element i.e. drivers who cheat by either trying to get a timed run up or delay the start and the performance of the starters. Simple!! Easy to improve isn't it - when (way back lol) never had these problems!!

I recall seeing TV shows, where they would setup a prank... and all actors were brought in to play their part to convince the target person... that its all real. now imagine this show... but on a grander scale, where every actor is playing there part in the political prank of the century... to convince the public that the USA election was real. to do it on such a huge scale, with people already aware of the prank... but dont wish to play along... rather they chose to reveal the prank!!! this is the essence of what we have seen... and are seeing(well some of us)

Scooby3051, I am writing as one of those with what you call a "delusional disorder". It has been my experience that almost all of those with an attention span in excess of 140 characters would be classified by yourself as having a "delusional disorder". I have read several very lengthy treatises on the stolen election, and they are hard work to comprehend, but all point to the fact that the election was stolen and that the thieves have won and that I should just get over it and move on. It is quite remarkable how those swamp critters managed it. They knew that to get the irrefutable facts together in a detailed and comprehensive manner that would satisfy a number of high court judges would take two years and no nation can exist in that sort of limbo for that sort of period.

My question.....What are the realistic and achievable 'game-changers' in his Strategic and Business Plans to increase Betting Profits and decrease operating costs which will provide the Codes significantly more money to return to owners and future proof the Industry. What is his opinion on the current level of returns to Owners /Industry and does he think these are sustainable. ?

I got told that Spark isn't getting the response it was hoping for and that something might be happening with sky , let's hope , my internet coverage is crap , so have missed EPL and cricket , my whole summer dull and boring now .

Keep digging that hole So What penalty will corrupt CNN face for knowingly hiding the Biden story before the election and knowingly giving the public fake polls?. It is called election interference, the very thing they falsely accused Trump of for 3 years. Big crimes come with big penalties Drain the swamp

Do you reckon they get to sit together in Gitmo or will they get the firing squad that has just been made legal again? Maybe Joe could ask for 40% black shooters to keep the diversity count right. Tell us in your dreams how you think Biden could possiby get a security clearance with the upcoming treason charges? Big tech guilty

Totally agree dont know why they need standing starts at all. Dont theyhave a preferential mobile draw they could use .?
